No harm.. but I think the two cars will be equal due to the Mustang's lighter weight. Of course I think the Camaro handles better due to a much more advanced platform and suspension system but the extra weight is what will hinder the Camaro in out and out beating the GT. Teh weight is also what helps the Mustang get better fuel economy.
Until Zeta II or Alpha come out with lighter weight... More HP is the way to offset the differences. This is easily achieved too.. but for some reason GM just won't just be aggressive in these one on one battles. The 3.6L for instance should and could easily be at 330HP by now. I have personally seen dyno data with minimum upgrades pushing out 350HP. The LS3 is easily bumped to 450HP.. and as I demonstrated with my own Vette... and too my surprise even more that is easily achieved for less than $600
